William Lightfoot married Mildred Howell. He acted as one of the executors of his father's estate & inherited considerable property from him. By terms of Philip's will William inherited property which included all of the lands in Charles City and Surry Counties except for one called "Troopers", the lots and appurtenances in York City where he was then living, except for those of his mother, warehouses, a mill, store houses & 1/3 of the plate once his mother died. He was also given 200 pounds to repair the house at Sandy Point (Tedington); & in the event that his two brothers, John and Armistead, died without male heirs, he was to inherit their lands as well. The Williamsburg home, found on the Duke of Gloucester Street, passed to him upon the demise of his brother John. He and Mildred had the following children: William; Philip; Mrs. Mary L. Allen (1750-1789), wife of Col. William Allen of "Claremont Manor"; Mrs. Mildred L. Coles, wife of Walter Coles of "Mildendo" & Mrs. Elizabeth L. Coles, 1st wife of Col. Isaac Coles. William Lightfoot served as Sheriff of York County in 1746 & was a delegate to the House of Burgesses from 1756-58. His son, William, became the proprietor of "Tedington" upon the death of his father.
